The Spike Away Gives Public Transit Riders More Personal Space

This spiked vest invented by Siew Ming Cheng gives you more personal space while riding on the subway or other pubic transportation vehicle. The Spike Away is made from flexible green spiky plastic.

The industrial designer was inspired by her crowded commute on Singapore trains while she was an undergraduate student at the National University of Singapore. The vest was her homework from a school workshop held by German furniture designer Werner Aisslinger.
